Who all plays ? I wouldn't call what I do playing, but it's fun. I picked up the sport a month ago and I love it. It's extremely frustrating though :madman:

 

I'm decent with my driver, woods and putter but I'm terrible with my irons. I usually get 230 - 260 with the driver but I have to play my slice pretty hard.

 

What kind of clubs does everyone use ? I've got a set of Taylormade burners my dad gave me, they're around 10 years old but the guys I play with seem to think they are a pretty nice set.

I don't play as often as I'd like, but I love to play. Short and straight. Nothing fancy in my bag, an old Tommy Armour 845 driver, Wilson fatboy 3-5-7 woods (I hit them much better than hybrids), generic graphite shaft 5-PW, Adams Tom Watson GW,SW and LW and an old Odyssey white-hot putter.

 

Put me on the "ego courses" around here and I shoot in the low-mid 80s.

Why do you call them that ?

I play at least 2 times per week. I am coming off knee surgery in December that kept me from taking a good swing last year and I am slowly coming back into form. I love the game it is such a challenge every shot. The club where I play is in perfect shape which makes it nice.

My woods are the Big Bertha Hawkeye series ( I love them). Irons are a Big Bertha knock offs. I jump back and forth between a 12-16 handicap in the last couple years.

I have played golf for 45 years (almost all of my life) and grew up in a golfing family. I just this week bought only my third set of clubs. I dislike changing clubs usually (or else I am just cheap), but the new clubs are great. Cobra S-9-1 driver (was a demo). 3w and 5w still my old Taylor made knock-offs. I purchased Calloway x-22 graphite shaft irons. I ordered them off the Calloway golf site to my custom fittings. My old irons were Ping Isi knock offs that I hit pretty well, but they don't compare to the new ones. Oh, also completing the makeover a 2009 Nike Oz2 putter. I am left-handed so it is not easy for me to find and then demo a lot of different kinds of clubs. This is the biggest investment I have ever made in my game.

 

I get from tee to green pretty quickly, and putting is OK....my pitching game is another Haney project series at present. It's horrible...going to go practice a lot this weekend.

I love to play but don't get to much any more. Having 2 kids pretty much put the stop to my golf game.

 

I have a set of Mizuno MX25 irons, a Taylor Made R540 driver, Cobra 3 metal, Ping Putter.

Why do you call them that ?

 

Not much trouble and if your drive doesn't find the fairway, you can get back to it rather easily.

Not much trouble for not hitting a good shot.

 

Alot of courses are designed to get you to come back and spend money, not to test a golfer.

How about everyone telling their best score and on what course?

 

I play Ping irons and King Cobra woods.

Broke 100 once with 98. 43 on 9 is my best. Both at Pendleton Country Club.

 

But haven't gone out and played 9 straight or 18 for about 5-6 years.

 

Now I coach golf and work with players on shots and hole strategy more than I play.

Like everyone else I don't get to play as much as I used to. I used to be about a 10 handicap but I would say I'm around 14 or 15 now that I don't play to much. Last time out was brutal. I think I shot a 98. Best round was 79 I believe.

I play Ping irons and King Cobra woods.

 

Laurel Oaks in Maysville (white tees, not the tips) - 77.

Kenton Station in Maysville (true ego course) - 75.

Hilltop in Manchester (OH) - 78.

HIckory Sticks (played there 4 times last year) - 85. My favorite course anywhere around here, but I don't play golf too many places.

Maysville Country Club (white tees) - 86.

Close the clubface by turning your right hand over on the grip before you start you swing, this should correct your slice until you have a chance to work on it...Hardest game on earth I think!

Love, love, love, to play golf. Try to go at least once a week, but normally make it to play a round two to three times a week. I am on my third set of TaylorMade irons, and wouldn't even think about buying anything else right now. The set I have now is the TaylorMade r7's, (5-sw in my bag) but those new r9's look sweet. I have a TaylorMade Burner driver, and also a TaylorMade r7 driver, both 9.5's. I have been hitting the Burner a lot better than the r7 here lately so I have been sticking with it. Also in my bag is a TaylorMade rescue dual 3, which is basically like a hybrid 3 iron. Then I have a Taylormade burner 6 hybrid, with Mizuno mp .001 3 and 5 woods. I have my trusty ole Adams Tom Watson Lob Wedge 60 degree, and Nike OZ putter (hardest putter I ever learned to play with, but now I am money with it).

 

Have a lot of other clubs laying around and stored in the garage, but those are the ones I play with or keep in my bag. Normally play with Titleist balls, usually Pro-V1's or DT Carrys, but also have been using a lot of Bridgestone balls here lately, the tours, and the +e6 and +e7's.

 

Lowest score I've shot this season is a 76 which is +5 at the course I normally play at (Raven Rock). Normally I shoot a high 70's to low 80's up there. Even though I play Raven Rock more frequently I still consider it to be a pretty challenging course, and usually shoot good rounds when I go elsewhere, normally in the 70's. My father lives in Virginia and I play a lot of golf with him over there at a lot of courses. Around here like said normally play Raven Rock (Jenkins) and Stone Crest (Prestonsburg). When I lived in Richmond, I played a lot at Gibson Bay and Arlington CC.

Maybe we can start a BGP scramble.
